The copyright to the original Tremors screenplay is now back in the hands of its creators at Stampede Entertainment
In short, Stampede created Tremors, it’s three sequels and the 13 episode television series. They wrote a script for a fifth film, but Universal decided that it didn’t want any help from the creators.
Universal went ahead with its own ideas and created films 5, 6 & 7, which are frankly crap. Now Stampede has the rights back to the original film, they can make their own sequels with graboids and characters from that first story. They can’t use anyone, or creatures from the rest of the film series. That’s a bit of a shame as I really like the Shriekers from Tremors 2.
So what?
This is awesome news!!
The butt blasters?
was that their name?
ass blasters, that was it.
I’m very excited, I don’t care if it’s a reboot or a sequel or anything, I will be watching.
Yes! Good news.
I just realized that the poster shows a lot of teeth on the tremors, but the article has a good shot of a tremor and they have no teeth whatsoever.
I really wonder how thumbnails work, because the thumbnail for this post is the poster art, but I don’t see it anywhere in the linked article. Anyway, I was thinking about this poster:
Spoiler for the first film
What’s on the poster is actually the “tongue” of a Graboid, the strange worm creatures of the series. In fact they have three “tounges”.
But the tongues don’t have teeth? That is definitely the tip/head of a tongue but the movie doesn’t show teeth on them. Remember the one that they pulled off of Earl’s axel? No teeth.
